Feedback from customers!
“Congratulations to all concerned with the wonderful Easter celebrations’ spirit and decorations at your above restaurant , only they didn’t have any English Breakfast tea bags !
I first attended your establishment in Edward St in 1961 ! but have been to City Hall a number of times.
Thank you so much for maintaining such a special tradition in our City.
With best wishes”

“I organised the Melbourne Cup Celebration with a group of friends mostly from our 50+ Club of the City Hall. We have been doing this for the last three years. We have an excellent deal with the price and we appreciate the very professional and friendly services. The Manager Kathy is very approachable and friendly. She takes extra miles to meet our requests such as organising a TV screen for the Melbourne Cup race specially for us. As we request, we are seated at a long table outside the dining room area, which provides the atmosphere of space and openness and at the same time complementary to the traditional old charm of the building structure and features. The food is good and the coffee is one of the best in town.”
